Outlook Jake Ferguson

Reliable Tight End Target Set to Return Major Value at Current Draft Cost

Jake Ferguson enters the season firmly entrenched as the starting tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, operating ahead of Luke Schoonmaker on the depth chart. Coming off a highly productive campaign where he hauled in 87 passes for 660 yards and eight touchdowns, Ferguson remains one of Dak Prescott's most trusted targets behind superstar wideout CeeDee Lamb.

His draft market trends show fascinating momentum. After spiking into the seventh round in early June, his ADP has stabilized at 111 over the past month. For managers in 1.0 PPR formats, this cooling price tag represents a massive market opportunity, turning the steady tight end into an absolute draft-day steal at a double-digit round discount.

Our projections expect another robust year, slating him for 71 receptions, 591 yards, and six touchdowns, totaling 164.3 fantasy points. Ferguson possesses an incredibly safe weekly floor with the touchdown-scoring ceiling to easily exceed his current market valuation in this high-powered offense.

Outlook Dalton Schultz

High-Floor Tight End Value in a Potent Houston Offense

Operating as the clear top tight end on the depth chart, Dalton Schultz enters the year as a trusted weapon for quarterback C.J. Stroud. After a highly productive campaign in which he hauled in 83 receptions, he remains a key safety valve in this potent passing attack.

Our projections expect another reliable season, forecasting 62 receptions for 593 yards and 3 touchdowns on 83 targets. While sharing opportunities with wideouts Nico Collins and Tank Dell limits his overall ceiling, his consistent utilization in the red zone maintains his weekly utility.

His draft market trajectory saw major fluctuation, peaking briefly in the late-ninth round before leveling off stubbornly at an ADP of 163. This stable, late-round price tag in PPR leagues presents an excellent value opportunity for managers adopting a late-round tight end draft strategy.
